Vote for Murray!!!

gamespot is currently running a greatest sidekick contest. Everyone's favorite demonic talking skull just so happens to be a contestant. Lets all go give him our support!!! in the first round, he's running against Maya Fey of the Phoenix Wright series. which he currently has around 60% of the votes. But next round, he's going to be up against Luigi. Lets band together and help Murray pull out the upset!!!

i don't mind the companion cube winning that one. just the fact that valve was able to come up with an inanimate object to be CONSIDERED in that contest is amazing in itself. and its even one of the favorites to win. thats just insane.

So we're clear, every time a contest like this happens 4chan always floods the votes so the most obscure character possible wins while the obvious winners get eliminated early. (If I remember correctly they got Bub and Bob to win "Best Hero" and General Raam to win "Best Villain.") I wouldn't worry too much about whoever has to go up against Luigi, since he's obviously the first person they're going to take out. (They're trying to get Launchpad McQuack to win this contest, if you're curious.)

Anyway, I'm sorry, but I can't vote. I love Murray and Maya. How am I supposed to choose?

He's beating Luigi because Luigi has very little characterization besides the things he exclaims when he falls off a cliff. Or, at least, that's what I'm telling myself. I don't understand it either. But anything that gets Murray closer to ruling the Universe is okay by me.

not that i disagree, but it was mostly because of 4chan. i obviously voted for murray tho :cool:

Look, I like Murray, but I'm afraid I'm gonna have to vote for Luigi this time. I just like him better, plus, he's a lot more useful than murray. Let's face it, there's only so much that a talking skull can do.

Well, with ladder things like this, they tend to pair the more popular characters with less popular characters at the beginning so that the ending rounds will be between really popular characters and thus more exciting. Of course, that doesn't always happen.

It's a bit like a fencing tournament. In the first direct elimination they place the B-rated fencers against the complete noobs so the new people get eliminated early and don't end up winning the tournament via a fluke.

I understand choosing Dogmeat over Luigi even less than I understand choosing Luigi over Murray. It's like, the less of an actual personality they have, the better. Dogmeat isn't even very useful in Fallout 3.
